Wise One

You close your eyes

To delve beneath this Earth

Where my heart has painted

Images nobody else can see.

---

You listen with open ears

Acutely aware of what I say

And colour what I’ve missed,

Making my masterpiece complete.

---

You read with eyes and ears,

You try to know my singing soul,

You can easily realize when it is

Aching to escape from understanding.

---

So you let me be,

Watching me smile.
